Report Summary
- Stock: Keppel REIT (KREIT SP)
- Action: BUY (Reiterate)
- Target Price: SGD 1.05
- Most Important Idea: Keppel REIT started FY26 strongly, driven by acquisitions and robust rental reversions. The indicative 1Q26 DPU of 1.27 Scts is slightly ahead of estimates, supported by positive rental reversions (+17.2%) and improved borrowing costs.
- Key Highlights:
- Positive rental reversions expected, with average signing rents about 11% above expiring rents in Singapore.
- Portfolio committed occupancy improved to 97.1%.
- Aggregate leverage stands at 40.2%, with continued focus on capital management.
- Strong leasing demand led by banking, insurance, and financial services segment.
- Further savings in financing costs and continued positive rental reversions are expected to drive earnings.
- Implications: Investors may consider BUY, supported by strong fundamentals, attractive dividend yield (5.7%), and stable capital management. Actionable catalyst is continued positive rental reversion in Singapore and expected savings from MBFC Tower 3’s tax status.
